Zovirax Cream (Generic)

Zovirax cream (Acyclovir cream) is an antiviral medication that is used to treat cold sores, which are caused by herpes simplex viruses. The prescription medication helps the body fight the infection by preventing the virus from multiplying. Although Zovirax cream cannot prevent an outbreak, it can help cold sores to heal quicker when applied at the first signs of an outbreak.

Uses

Generic Zovirax cream is an antiviral. It works by stopping viral replication. However, the Generic Zovirax cream does not eliminate the herpes virus, it is not a cure, and it does not prevent transmission to others.

How to take

Use Generic Zovirax cream as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Wash and completely dry your hands and the affected area. Apply the medicine only to the affected area and not to the surrounding skin. Gently rub the medicine in until it disappears. Wash your hands after using Generic Zovirax cream.

Do not bandage or wrap the area unless directed to do so by your doctor. Do not bathe, shower, or swim right after using Generic Zovirax cream.

To clear up your infection completely, use Generic Zovirax cream for the full course of treatment. Keep using it even if you feel better in a few days. For best results, use Generic Zovirax cream at the first sign of a cold sore (tingling, redness, itching, or bump).

Testimonials

Jake F., 45, IllinosStandard ED Pack (Generic)

“My ED was giving me nightmares! Yes, I could use Viagra but it was too expensive to buy all the time. That’s why I ordered a generic version at Canadian Pharmacy and could not be happier with the results.”

Janine L., 35, WinnipegAlbuterol

“What I like most about this pharmacy is that they deliver very fast and always package it securely so no one knows what I ordered. It is a big deal for someone who has very nosy neighbours.”
